Kafka on the Shore
by Haruki Murakami
adventurous
dark
mysterious
tense
medium-paced
Plot or Character Driven:
Plot
Strong character development:
Yes
Loveable characters:
No
Flaws of characters a main focus:
Yes
I’m so conflicted by this book. Murakami went to lots of unnecessarily disgusting details (e.g., killing cats, incest, rape) that made reading parts of it so insufferable. Then there were also parts written so beautifully I felt like I was being sucked in this whole ‘nother world.
